    Volley develops voice-controlled games and entertainment apps for Amazon Alexa and Google Home. Our voice apps are world-class and attract millions of users every month.

    • Song Quiz - a name-that-tune music trivia game
    • Jeopardy - America's Favorite Quiz Show... now on Alexa
    • Bedtime Stories - a soothing, narrated skill to help you fall asleep

    We believe voice control will be the main way people access entertainment in their bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and cars. Our goal is to build a destination for interactive audio entertainment, as Netflix did for television.

    Underrepresented candidates and candidates from nontraditional backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply
